[Mon. Oct. 6, 1092] Left for Cincinnatti - expecting to stop at Salem, but owing to freight wreck the train went by Vandalia, so I was obliged to go on to Cin Palace Hotel. [Tuesday 7] Cincinnatti all day- Howard C. Johnson - old schoolmaster - decorator - drinks - 6 children - have not seen him for 26 hears. Spent day in buying books in Old Book stores, and found some good ones.
